We the People may very well be witnessing further deceit, however, there could also be some cracks developing in the Leftist insanity alliance.
This from redstate.com.
Oh, sure, there have always been Leftists from swing districts or districts beset by specific problems who set their constituents’ needs above the party and vote alongside the GOP to get something done. But somehow, this feels more like a turning tide; several House Leftists have sided with the Republicans to withhold Small Business Administration services from sanctuary jurisdictions—places that, to put it bluntly, harbor and protect illegal aliens. The first such relevant vote passed 211 to 199, with five from the Left crossing the aisle.
A pair of bills cracking down on sanctuary cities passed the House of Representatives this week—with the support of multiple [from the Left].
On Thursday, the House passed a bill to withdraw Small Business Administration (SBA) services from jurisdictions that shelter illegal immigrants. The legislation passed the House in a 211 to 199 vote, with five from the Left joining the GOP: Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Laura Gillen of New York, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington.
Now, the specifics: Henry Cuellar (C/G-TX) has long been opposed to the Biden policies on unchecked, uncontrolled illegal immigration, so his vote is not too surprising. New York, North Carolina, and Washington are all states that have issues with illegal immigration. Maine, rather less so, but perhaps Jared Golden (C/G-ME) was having an attack of conscience.
A second bill, which passed Friday morning, would add explicit language banning people in the U.S. illegally from obtaining SBA loans.
Eight from the Left voted for that legislation—Perez, Cuellar, Gillen and Davis all voted for the bill, along with Reps. Tom Suozzi of New York, Josh Harder of California, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and Kristen McDonald Rivet of Michigan.
This seems like a no-brainer, making it a head-scratcher as to why anyone would vote against it at all, but the same five from the Left did support it, along with the four others named.
So why did these Leftists join Republicans in these two votes? Well, it may be reasonable to think this may be the first signs of a semblance of reality returning to national Leftists. The party has been supporting uncontrolled, unchecked, unvetted, and unlimited illegal alien entry for so long, along with other wildly unpopular policies, that some sense of sanity is returning.
A political party—any political party, even one that has transitioned into a crime syndicate—cannot continue to stand on the wrong side of 80-20 or even 95-5 issues and retain any national relevance. That is precisely what the AOC/Crockett wing of the party wants to do. But Leftists from swing districts, as well as Leftists from districts where this is a problem—and there are a lot of those—may be thinking really long and really hard about what the communist/globalist “leadership” is thinking. That leadership is a big liability, and that has to be crossing some of these folks’ minds as well. What passes for leadership in the communist/globalist crime syndicate today is either 1) fossilized, 2) nuts, or 3) both.
Is it possible the times, they are a’changing? For the sake of future Republican victories, We the People hope not. But we should also reflect that the Leftists will not keep losing elections forever; sooner or later, the communist/globalist crime syndicate will pull their collective craniums from their collective anal orifices and smell the roses.
Thanks to President Trump, the illegal alien invasion into our beloved country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical Left’s lies, new legislation was not needed to secure our border, rather a president who is not a puppet of the globalist new world order—nor of the Kenyan in the basement—led the way.
